I’m pretty confident Fury will beat Usyk.

[kafkod]

If we're all being honest here, If he goes to the cards and it's a close fight, Fury will 100% get the nod.

I've got a feeling that Usyk knows this, hence him bulking up, i think he's looking for a stoppage.

Turki wants Fury vs AJ

To me, Usyk looks around the same size as he's been for all his HW fights since Chisora. I think he will definitely put his foot down and go for a stoppage though, if he sees any sign of Fury weakening. He must realise that he needs to either stop Fury or beat him so clearly that the judges wouldn't dare rob him.

We're going to see a lot more damage this time!

That's very possible. But whose face is the damage going to be on?

Another thing is that Usyk has never been in serious trouble in any fight whatsoever so he potentially could switch it up another level.

[kafkod]

Chisora had 11 losses and was shot and Usyk won by 1 round on two cards. Even his manager thought it he only won by a round.

he definitely struggled at times with the physicality of Del Boy but was fresh and good enough to get past him.

Something we haven't seen from Usyk is how he can fight against someone with a massive reach advantage that actually knows how to use it. so that will be interesting. we already know from the Del fight that he not really comfortable with a big physical heavyweight getting on top of him, which
he didn't have to encounter again with Joshua or Dubois they don't know how to do that. But how about very long range? this will be the first opponent with the huge reach advantage that understands how to use it.

We already know there's no way he can do anything with Fury if Fury gets that close range with him if he was struggling with Chisoras physicality. We've seen Fury bullying Chisora.

That's why I say Usyk only really wins this fight if its fought at mid range, but why would Fury allow that when he has huge advantages at long range or close up?

Chisora was past his best when he fought Usyk, but he wasn't shot. He trained hard for it and came in with a good game plan, which worked pretty well until he started slowing down.

You have to factor in - Chisora was massively heavier but shorter than Usyk, short enough to come in low under Usyk's punches. And throwing those wide hooks of his, which is just his usual style, he was cutting off Usyk's escape rout to the sides. There was no way taller guys like AJ and DD were going to come in under Usyk's punches with wide hooks like that, and Fury isn't doing it either.

Also, Usyk has grown into HW since then. He is bigger, stronger and acclimatised to the extra size and strength of HW opponents, compared to the guys he was fighting at CW.

It also helped that Loma injured his shoulder and was arrogant enough to think he could win with only one arm, and not even the lead. He didn't throw that swivel jab he loves for like 6 rounds. When you give away 7 rounds, all your opponent has to do is make it to the final bell to win.

Yeah, there was that too.

Uysk has a glass body and I don't think the ref will save him against Fury. Fury can be knocked down, but he'll get back up and fight harder (that was what impressed me most with his fights with Wilder), only question is Fury's mindset, if he's totally focused on this fight, he'll win.

Canelo was only down 1 round on 3 cards against Bivol. What’s your point? Was a 9-3 fight. Since when do we say “it was close, the judges scorecards are proof?”

[W1LL]

Pretty much the way I see it. I think Fury wins fairly easily, and possibly KOs Usyk.

Can't argue with that... �Arriba el Rey Gitano!

Usyk's own manager felt it was a 7-5 fight, as did many people.
